In this day and age, most people don't realize how much technology affects our F1 team. We are having to make decisions daily, every minute, second after second. And Dell are helping us do that. Without technology, we would not exist in Formula One.
So we always have, in F1, tried to focus our attention around the other people that make the car go faster. We've spent a lot of time hardening our infrastructure, we've got the capacity. We've got the resilience we need, now we need to optimize the applications to sit on top of that.
Within the IT department, we have effectively an IT nerve center. Dell Software, we're working with closely at the moment to look at bringing all of the Dell products together under a single pane of glass. And also, to look at some of the recent products that Dell have taken on for us. That leaves us to deliver a more proactive service to the business.
We're looking at a product called Dell Foglight that monitors the applications. It tells us if there's any bottlenecks in those applications. It tells us how we use it. It tells us to optimize our databases to deliver, ultimately, what are the tools that the users use.
We use KACE both at the factory and track side, and it allows us to keep track of all of our hardware and software inventory. We can deploy machines quickly. It frees up a lot of time for the user at the track side.
We use SonicWALL firewalls for all of our network security. That allows us to prioritize traffic, and also keep track of any threats to see if we are vulnerable. Being a Formula One team, people want to know what we're doing.
Dell provides a comprehensive range of software monitoring solutions. That allows us within the IT department to monitor the complete infrastructure through networking storage server performance, not just in the F1 team, but across different [INAUDIBLE].
Technology in IT, in this business, helps us tremendously. Not only on F1, where the guys are using it day in, day out for instant decisions and instant data, amongst the weighted group, we need it for things like car configurators, manufacturing processes, and Dell provide that for us. It's real time, instant decisions.
